Valkey™ on the Instaclustr Managed Platform
The 100% open source distributed, in-memory key-value database, cache and message broker, forked from Redis™

What is Valkey?
Valkey is an open source key-value datastore that’s used as a cache, message broker, and distributed in-memory database. It’s known for its scalability, adaptability, and performance, and is considered the leading alternative to Redis, the NoSQL database that now operates with a more restrictive license.
